Following a very challenging yet creative year, Tedeschi Trucks Band, an Americana roots and soul powerhouse, will return to the road in 2022. The group will perform for a two-night engagement in New Orleans at the Saenger Theatre on January 7 and 8. Led by renowned guitarist Derek Trucks and singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi, these shows will feature the full, reunited 12-piece band including new drummer Isaac Eady.

In October 2021, the band delivered a spectacular seven-night sold-out run at New York’s Beacon Theatre which saw the full group joyously back together to perform nearly 100 different songs, numerous debuts and a rare acoustic set. They and were joined onstage by surprise special guests Chris Robinson, Warren Haynes and Marcus King.

Tedeschi Trucks Band’s recent return to the road with the full ensemble follows an unprecedented 18 months of uncertainty for live music. While off the road due to the pandemic, Tedeschi and Trucks launched the Fireside Sessions, a successful livestream series that featured a scaled-down lineup and unique renditions of their classic repertoire. Over the summer they took the concept on the road as Fireside Live—a series of socially-distant limited-capacity shows—drawing sold-out crowds across the U.S.

­­­In July 2021, the band released Layla Revisited (Live At LOCKN’) featuring Trey Anastasio, a two-CD/three-LP live recording of their performance of the classic Derek and the Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs at the 2019 LOCKN’ Festival.  The musicianship of the memorable set propelled the album to hit the top of the Billboard charts including No. 1 Blues Albums, No. 2 Americana/Folk Albums, No. 4 Current Rock Albums, and No. 47 on the Billboard Top 200.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is also the subject of a newly-released documentary, Learning To Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, which Variety hails as “a serious blast of rock ‘n’ roll love… and a testament to how one gorgeously raucous rock ‘n’ roll moment can reverberate through the decades.” The film chronicles the historic Mad Dogs reunion concert spearheaded by Tedeschi and Trucks that took place at 2015’s LOCKN’ festival. Visit MadDogsDoc.com for more information and watch the film trailer here.

The documentary will appear on the big screen at the Broad Theater in New Orleans on January 15, 16 and 19.  Tickets are available here.

In the midst of the rare time off, Tedeschi Trucks Band convened in the studio to write and record a wealth of new songs for a future studio album. As the recording progresses towards an expected release in 2022, the album is growing into a unique and exciting conceptual project. In addition, Derek and Susan also used their time off to guest on albums by Oliver Wood, Doyle Bramhall ll, Gabe Dixon, Ryan Shaw and Neal Francis, and both appear on the recent Neal Casal project Highway Butterfly.
